Your guide on how to enjoy MIAS 2023

It’s safe to assume that MIAS 2023 will keep you on your toes, literally and figuratively. The venue of the annual motor show — the World Trade Center in Pasay City — is expected to be jam-packed with all manner of vehicles.

Big and small, new and old, the exciting and the mundane — you’ll find all of them sitting pretty under the stage lights or putting their shows on the road outside the WTC walls. MIAS 2023 will enable the public to test drive the cars available in the market today.

Obviously, MIAS isn’t the kind of event you’ll enjoy while sitting down. But don’t fret — if you follow our advice below, you’ll absorb the sights and sounds of MIAS 2023 as comfortably as you can.

Arrive Early

The early bird gets the worm, which in this case is precious parking space. As with the previous iterations of MIAS, paid parking is available in the open lot across the street from WTC. If you arrive way before the 9 a.m. opening of the event, you’ll get to park as close to the venue as possible. But whether you’re early or otherwise, an umbrella will shield you from sunlight or drizzle as you make the short walk from your car to WTC.

Wear Comfortable Clothes

You have plenty of ground to cover, so it’s best to wear the lightest pair of shoes you have. The halls of WTC are air conditioned, but either out of the excitement from beholding all the wonderful vehicles or you’re just naturally sweaty, you might still reach for the towel. Our point is, wear breathable clothes or bring an extra shirt just in case.

Fill Up Your Tank

Even if you forget to bring a thermos of water to or eat before attending MIAS 2023, there are food kiosks dotted around the venue for your comfort. Take your pick from refreshingly ice-cold fruit juices or warm hotdogs and rice meals.

Juice Up Your Devices

Don’t forget to bring portable chargers and the chargers for your mobile phone or cameras. Without juiced-up devices, how can you document this momentous occasion? If he does come to town, how can you take a video of precision driver Russ Swift drifting and sliding Subaru cars?

Have Fun!

It’ll be the easiest thing to do at MIAS. You, or your friends and family you might bring along, will be doing this without even thinking about it. If you take a trip down memory lane here, you’ll expect nothing less than another big and bright automotive spectacle this year.
